As Adobe has done for the past several years during the fall, they have announced a new version of Elements, Photoshop Elements 12. Remember last year when PSE 11 was released, it sported a completely new user interface for both the Organizer and the Editor compared to previous versions. PSE 12 is more like an incremental update when compared to PSE 11. However, improvements added to both the Organizer and Editor will provide enough new features to encourage many to upgrade to this latest version, even if they already have PSE 11. I’ve been working with it for some time now and find several of the new features quite interesting and fun to use.

To get a quick overview of how this release compares to earlier versions CLICK HERE.

For a number of years, I have produced a table that compares the various versions in a more detailed format. My latest version is SHOWN HERE.

Last year I posted an article describing the new features of PSE 11. In that post, there was a link to a chart where I compared PSE 10 to previous versions. CLICK HERE to see this article.

As time goes on, I will post more details regarding the new features and their use, so stay tuned.

Getting Started With Adobe Photoshop Elements 11

Are you totally new to Photoshop Elements and would like to quickly learn how to begin using the program effectively? Are you currently using an older version and are a bit mystified be its new look and feel? If so, this short class is for you. It will teach you what you need to know to get started with both the photo Organizer and the photo Editor module.

Beginning on October 30th, I will be teaching a course on how to take and process Camera RAW photos. The course is targeted for those of you who do your photo editing using a laptop computer running Photoshop Elements 11 or other recent version. However, for those who use a desktop PC for your photo editing, you are welcome to use the PV NET computers running Photoshop Elements 8. Click on the link below to learn more about the class. I hope you can join us.
